While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

Isn't that on the same level as the "Buddha's Palm"?!

Is this box really filled with such a precious treasure?!

Duan Fei and Liu Mingluan were both terrified.

Changlong Escort Agency has taken on such a "hot potato," no wonder He Long was willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold, and no wonder Changlong Escort Agency was attacked as soon as it left the premises.

It's just that the news was kept relatively well under wraps; otherwise, there would have been more than just these people here.

Lu Xiaoyu thought to herself: If I had known this would happen, I should have just grabbed the wooden box and run away. Otherwise, I would have become another Ancient Sword Soul.

What a pity! We missed out!

As Lu Xiaoyu was filled with remorse, she suddenly remembered something—

"My esteemed friend, you're saying there was something in this box originally? Originally? That means there was something in it now..."

As he spoke, he cautiously observed Jiang Sishui's expression.

Jiang Sishui smiled slightly and opened the wooden box directly.

Everyone looked at it immediately.

Empty.

It's just an empty box!

Duan Fei was stunned.

The box was empty! The box that his master had personally entrusted to him for safekeeping was empty!

What he risked his life to protect turned out to be an empty box!

Duan Fei suddenly felt that God had played a huge joke on him.

Fortunately, he was blessed with good fortune and escaped danger time and time again. Otherwise, if he had really lost his life for an empty box, wouldn't that have been extremely unjust?

"Senior brother, what's going on?" Liu Mingluan was at a loss and looked at Duan Fei.

Duan Fei was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he explained to the woman in black, "I didn't take anything from inside. I really wanted to take it to Yanxia Manor!"

Looking into his sincere eyes and hearing his firm tone, the woman in black nodded slightly: "I believe you."

Then she said to Jiang Sishui, "My name is Tu Xuehua from Yanxia Manor. May I ask your name?"

"The river is like water."

Jiang Sishui... It really was him!

Finally waited for him!

My sister is saved!

A surge of joy welled up in Tu Xuehua's heart, which she barely managed to suppress, trying her best to appear calm: "Does Young Master Jiang know the whereabouts of the secret manual in this box?"

Jiang Sishui nodded.

"Where?!" Duan Fei asked instinctively.

As soon as he spoke, he realized that he had been impolite in his haste and hurriedly apologized to Jiang Sishui.

Jiang Sishui knew he didn't mean it and didn't hold his unintentional mistake against him.

Seeing Duan Fei's pleading gaze, Jiang Sishui countered, "How many people handled this wooden box from beginning to end?"

Duan Fei thought for a moment and said, "He Long, Master, my junior sister and I, Brother Lu, and Miss Tu."

Lu Xiaoyu immediately exclaimed, "Hey, hey, don't wrong me!"

"We became friends after a fight. Although I managed to snatch the wooden box once, you immediately took it back."

"The wooden box never left your sight the entire time, so I definitely didn't take it!"

Tu Xuehua remained silent, instead gazing at Duan Fei.

She also snatched the wooden box.

However, after learning that Duan Fei's destination was Yanxia Manor, she gave up the idea of ​​robbing something from an honest man.

Duan Fei glanced at the two of them, then at Liu Mingluan, and murmured, "Neither of you took any, and neither did my junior sister and me. Master..."

Duan Fei's expression changed, and he immediately shook his head repeatedly: "No! Impossible! There must be some misunderstanding!"

None of the four men took it, and He Long was dead, so only his master was left.

How could Duan Fei possibly believe that his most respected master would steal from him?

Therefore, he immediately denied it.

“Yes, although our Changlong Escort Agency is a small agency, my father is a man of integrity and would never do such a thing,” Liu Mingluan chimed in, echoing her.

Jiang Sishui didn't argue with them, only saying, "If you don't believe me, then let's see who I get the 'Heavenly Crippled Kick' manual from next."

Liu Mingluan blinked her bright eyes, full of curiosity: "You can find the secret manual?"

Jiang Sishui nodded and immediately took out the "Finding Compass".

The compass quickly locked onto the direction, which was northwest.

Jiang Sishui turned around and called to Ren Yingying, "Yingying, let's go."

Yingying?

Ren Yingying? The Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Cult?

Tu Xuehua's eyes flashed, and she followed without hesitation.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Liu Mingluan wanted to follow, but stopped to ask Duan Fei for his opinion.

Duan Fei's expression changed several times before finally settling on a resolute one: "I don't believe Master would do such a thing! Come on, let's follow him and see who stole the manual!"

Having said that, he quickly followed.

Liu Mingluan followed closely behind.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Lu Xiaoyu was a slippery person and originally didn't want to be with an extremely dangerous person, but seeing that his three companions had all followed, he couldn't leave alone.

Moreover, danger and opportunity often go hand in hand; perhaps I could even build a relationship with this seemingly decent but shrewd person.

283. "Heavenly Crippled Kick" acquired.

The group followed the secret manual.

Because Jiang Sishui was humble and did not act arrogantly despite her high level of martial arts, the group gradually relaxed.

During the conversation, they exchanged some basic information.

"Duan Fei, Liu Mingluan, Tu Xuehua, Lu Xiaoyu... they are not too different from the characters in the drama."

"Tu Xuehua is much prettier than she is in the drama. Well, her features haven't changed, but her skin is whiter and her voice is more pleasant."

Jiang Sishui secretly compared them in her mind.

As the owner of the copy of the diary, Tu Xuehua was very curious about Jiang Sishui and would often look him over.

In addition, she and Ren Yingying also exchanged glances.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

……

About half an hour later, Jiang Sishui was the first to stop.

The five people stopped and followed the gaze of the others, and saw a pile of tattered clothes and fabrics on the bank of a small river ahead.

Ren Yingying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and blurted out, "It's something like corpse-dissolving water."

Jiang Sishui nodded and stepped closer to examine it more closely.

"Ah! This is...this is..."

Liu Mingluan suddenly cried out in alarm, her pretty face turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Her legs buckled, and she knelt on the ground. The girl trembled as she reached out her delicate white hand to touch the tattered clothes on the ground, which were already corroded and riddled with holes.

Jiang Sishui grabbed her wrist in time: "Don't touch it, your hand will rot."

Liu Mingluan seemed not to hear, staring blankly at the tattered clothes on the ground, looking rather dazed.

After a moment of mental confusion, it seemed as if her soul had finally returned to her body, and Liu Mingluan suddenly cried out in anguish, "Father!"

That shout was like a flood breaking through a dam; two streams of hot tears instantly welled up in her eyes, streaming down and wetting her delicate, fair face.

father?

Tu Xuehua and Lu Xiaoyu stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Master? This is Master?" Duan Fei was startled and quickly squatted down to examine the tattered clothes on the ground.

But the clothes were so tattered that he, a grown man, wouldn't normally pay attention to fabrics or styles, so after looking at them for a long time, he still couldn't figure them out.

He turned to look at Liu Mingluan and asked urgently, "Junior Sister! Junior Sister! Don't cry. How can you be sure these are Master's clothes? Could you have mistaken them for something else?"

Liu Mingluan was already sobbing uncontrollably, stammering, "No...no...I can't be wrong. This...this dress...I made it myself. I just gave it to...father three days ago..."
